The Pt-England Way.

        Pt  England  Rules, The  Pt  England  Way.


The Pt-England Way is a way of life that Mr Burt and the prefects created, for the Pt England School students and teachers. It is a way of life that Pt Englander’s all know and follow and is how Mr Burt concludes assembly every Fridays.  Mr Burt starts of with the Karakia and while that finishes he starts talking about the Pt-England way and rules.


One of the Pt-England rules are the 3 p’s protection , participation  and also partnership. Those 3 p’s help us to behave when new students arrive in our school and also new visitors that come all around our school and check and see what we have been learning about for the past few years and days.


Mr Burt also discusses respect and the prefects have just created the respect word into something that is suitable and it was RESPECT-remember eyes and ears, speed, posture, everyone co-operating together we have done that for our Korero in the Pt-England way of respect.


Learning at school is an acceptable way to help Pt England learn and also to strive and the word Tiaki Taonga is the fantastic word that the Pt-England Student’s will be learning about the whole year and that means our school,our people,our efforts,and our success.


The Pt-England way is to take care of everything we know and to look after the school property. Our people mean we need to take care of other’s that we know and to also help them achieve and learn how to Respect.

Our efforts means that you need to have power in yourself have faith in yourself and not to struggle or stress in what you do like your work in class time and to just enjoy life. The word success means to work hard and to succeed and reach your goals in your work, and your homework.

Me And My Sister.

This is me and sister at home taking photos on my Net-book last year. My Sister's name is Mary-Jane she has been my sister ever since. Sometimes she is kind of cheeky to me,My Brother,and also my parents but really she is kind of nice and kind of mean. Most of the times she laughs for no reason and also she laughs to dry things. She is 2 years old and I am a Year 7 girl and Pt England School.

My Popplet.

One of our reading activities today was to create a Poppet or word web to increase our range of vocabulary. The word we where given was Leisure, I found 26 many words that are synonyms
for leisure. I have found this Pretty hard but then it was just that simple. You just had to find another word of Leisure just like Fun,Resting,Peace.... and words like that I have worked on this like just 2 minuets and I hope you enjoy reading what I have created on Popplet.
